Assessment method
Our LLM Legal Practice Course (LPC) is assessed by a variety of methods.
These include:
- Written exams
- Oral assessments
- Written coursework
Our assessments are ‘open book’ on the LLM LPC. You are permitted to take hard copies of any materials into your exams, such as your course materials, any revision notes and statute books. The majority of legal knowledge required for passing the LLM LPC comes from these permitted sources, as opposed to case law. You can focus your revision on when and how to apply law, rather than memorising it, which most accurately reflects what it is like in practice.
